The Innovation and Reformation of Teaching Method for Computer Organization and Design Course

Computer organization and design has played an important role in the field of computer science and technology. With the rapid progress in semi-conductor, there are also new relative advances in computer science and technology. How to design computer organization and design course becomes more challengeable than before. The traditional teaching contents and the new advances should be organized together and taught to the students through effective methods. Computer organization and design is designed as the fundamental course at Zhejiang University. In this paper, we describe the innovations and reformations in the teaching methods of the computer organization and design course based on our background of our many years' teaching and research. During the teaching, we have designed different teaching innovations and reformations to improve teaching effect and cultivate students' innovative concepts. We have also provided special support through the online course construction. It is indicated that using different teaching methods in class could inspire students' learning interest and passion according to the different teaching scenarios, while the online support can extend the teaching in class further and provide a better learning platform to the students.
